Build Your Own! : Example Contracts
We’ve spent a lot of time looking at what you need to have in a contract, and even some examples of what happens if someone breaches them. Now it is time to build your own!
Below are examples of two different contracts agreeing to do the same thing. One is a great example of a contract based on everything we’ve learned today, another is a less good example. Have a look at both contracts and see if you can work out which one is the best!
On the next page we’ll go into why one is better than the other.
